When Clover is the right call

Clover is a genuinely capable all-in-one POS. If you want one connected system that runs your register, inventory, employees, and reporting, with a large app marketplace to add features, Clover does that well. For a business that wants a full POS ecosystem and is comfortable with the hardware and software commitment, Clover may be the right fit, and we’ll tell you so.

Where AllProPay fits better

The multi-year contract, the early termination fee, and the hardware locked to Clover are the opposite of how we work. AllProPay has no contracts and no cancellation fees, offers Dual Pricing, interchange-plus, or AllPro Rebate, whichever fits your business, so you see the real cost, and doesn’t lock your hardware. We put the real number in front of you, give you a person to call, and help you switch without downtime.

Common questions

Is AllProPay cheaper than Clover?
It depends on your plan and card mix. Clover's processing rate is a blended flat rate, and on top of it you usually pay monthly software fees and buy hardware that is locked to Clover, so the true cost is hard to see. AllProPay offers Dual Pricing, interchange-plus, or AllPro Rebate, whichever fits your business, and itemizes every fee. The honest way to know is a free statement review of your current fees.
Does Clover lock you into a contract?
Clover is sold through many banks and resellers, and those agreements frequently include a 36-month contract with an early termination fee of $500 or more. Verify your specific agreement. AllProPay has no contracts and no cancellation fees.
Can I move my Clover hardware to AllProPay?
Clover devices are generally locked to Clover, so they don’t move to another processor. AllProPay doesn’t lock your hardware, and we help you switch with no downtime. Pricing and terms change, so verify current details.
